Bells & Baubles Christmas Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some Christmas cards featuring our Bells & Baubles Stamps.

I started by creating the backgrounds in two different tone-on-tone color schemes for both of my cards today. For this card, I used Neenah Desert Storm Kraft cardstock, which I darkened around the edges using a light touch of Vintage Photo Distress ink. I then layered it with a second piece of kraft cardstock, which I had die-cut using our Stitched Rectangle Dies. I then stamped the fir tree branch from the Bells & Baubles Stamps in opposing corners using Gina K. Kraft Ink.

To embellish this particular card, I added three layered vintage glass ornament baubles in red, blue, and hot pink, stringing them with gold thread, which I taped to the back of each die-cut before adhering them with liquid adhesive. I then wrapped the threads tightly around the back of my Kraft card panel before taping them down. This set comes with a darling bow stamp image, which I had considered adding to the top of each ornament. Unfortunately, I only had one pre-stamped one in red, so I pulled out some 3/8" wide organza ribbon in each color to tie a bow and adhere with more liquid adhesive. For my "Happy Holidays" sentiment, I heat embossed the phrase from the Holiday Greetings Stamps and then added beneath it "from our family to yours" from the Inside Greetings Holidays Stamps onto a red pennant strip from the Notebook Photo Corners Dies.

Red Ornament ink colors used:

• Hero Arts Grapefruit 
• Gina K. Lipstick
• Gina K. Coral Reef

Hot Pink Ornament ink colors used:

• Gina K Bubblegum Pink
• Versafine Clair Charming Pink
• Gina K. Passionate Pink

Blue Ornament ink colors used:

• Gina K. Ocean Mist
• Versafine Clair Warm Breeze
• Gina K. Tranquil Teal

Ornament Bauble Hanger: Hero Arts Caramel

For my second card, I started it the same way as my first card, with all the same elements for the background, but this time I turned my card for a horizontal landscape orientation, and went with an olive green tone-on-tone look using PinkFresh Studio Olive Ink. For my greeting, I heat-embossed a sentiment with silver embossing powder from our Season's Greetings Stamps, accentuating the smaller "Season's" word by putting it onto a shortened red pennant strip from the Notebook Photo Corners Dies. I embellished my card with two layered silver bells, topped with a red bow, from the Bells & Baubles Stamps and some green sprigs from the same Season's Greetings Stamps and the coordinating Season's Greetings Dies (which are currently only $1 in our online shop).

Here's a better photo taken at an angle to show how beautifully the silver embossing powder used for the greeting catches the light and plays off the "Silver Bells" theme.

Silver bells ink colors used:

• Ranger Archival Shadow Grey
• Hero Arts Soft Granite
• VersaFine Clair Morning Mist
• Hero Arts Charcoal
• VersaFine Clair Nocture or VersaFine Onyx Black

Red Bow ink colors used:

• Gina K. Peach Bellini 
• Gina K. Lipstick
• Gina K. Coral Reef

Season's Greetings Holiday Gift Tags with Leanne

Hello friends! Leanne here and I'm sharing some Christmas tags today. I've combined some pretty holiday paper with a big Merry Christmas greeting for these festive tags. 

Below are all the Sunny Studio supplies needed to recreate these tags.

Joyful Holiday paper pad - Patterned paper used for tag base.

Stitched Arch dies - I used the largest die in the set to cut out the tag base. I then punched a whole at the top with 1/4" paper punch. 

Season's Greetings stamp set & companion dies - For the large Merry Christmas. The pink ones have been stamped with Catherine Pooler Party Dress ink. The red is CP Rouge ink. 

Woolen Mitten dies - For the holly leaves. 

Brilliant Banner 3 die - For the white banner I stamped to/from on.

Inside Greetings Seasons stamp set - For the to & from.

To make the tags extra special, I added a little clay peppermint piece to the holly leaves and tied a jingle bell to the ribbon. The finished tag with ribbon measures 6 inches tall and 4 inches wide. 

One time saving tip I wanted to pass along...  when you need many of the stamped and die cut Merry Christmas words, die cut several blanks first with the companion die. Then use the negative die cut in a Misti to line up the stamp in that negative space. Close the Misti lid to pick up the stamp and place a blank die cut Merry Christmas piece into that opening. Stamp as you normally would, repeating the process with all the blanks.

Distinctive Door Holiday Add-on Die Focused Cards with Leanne

Hello everyone! Leanne here and I'm sharing a fun way to use the Distinctive Door Holiday Add-on dies. I have made two cards that feature a shelf all decked out for the holidays. I'm always trying to come up ways to stretch my supplies and thought some of the dies in Distinctive Door Holiday Add-on set would make cute little decor pieces for a wall shelf. 

For both cards I used the Build-a-Birdhouse dies with the Distinctive Door Holiday Add-on dies to create my decorated shelf scenes. This first card is A2 size and features a shorter shelf with one birdhouse. The stamped sentiment on this card is from the Inside Greetings Seasons set. 

In the Build-a-Birdhouse set there's dies to create the houses, little birds, and a pole. The pole die is what I used to make the shelf. You can connect two poles together to make a longer shelf which is what I did for the mini slimline card. I was able to fit three birdhouses on this longer shelf.  

To dress up the shelves for Christmas, I used dies in the Distinctive Door Holiday Add-on set to create the snow cover on the shelves, the garland plus tiny bows, and the trees. 

The large greeting on the mini slimline card is from the Season's Greeting stamp set. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the word "greetings" and fussy cut the word "season's". 

I hope my cards inspire you to find ways to stretch your supplies and use them in an unexpected or new way. Thanks for stopping by today! I'll be back here next week to share some Christmas tags.
